  3. Table of Contents Leave first three double sided pages blank as a Table of Contents that we keep up to date with each science experience.

  4. Begin numbering on the third double-sided page – Number the left page as “1 L”, the right page as “1 R” throughout the book -- next page on the left, “2 L” etc. 1R 1L

  5. September 9, 2011 Put the date at the top of the right hand side of your “R” pages. Use the “R” pages while you are working (right hand side of the page) • Take notes in Cornell Note-taking form • Paste in hand outs • Describe what you are doing, • draw, label, write • Make predictions – what do • you think will happen? • Record observations • (qualitative, quantitative) - Pictures, labeled diagrams - Tables and graphs 1L 1R

  6. September 9, 2011 What kinds of things are attracted to a magnet? At the beginning stages of inquiry, we often begin with qustions that are "given". 1A 1B

  7. November 18, 2004 9:00 a.m. What's happening? Later, as we see the behaviors and characteristics of the materials that we explore, express your wonderment as a question -- your own question. Where did it go ? Where did it come from? Why did that happen/not happen? What would happen if I -- ? 1A 1B

  8. Claims Evidence November 18, 2004 9:00 a.m. What kinds of things are attracted to a magnet [Observations, results, drawings, statements, charts, etc.] Some metal objects are attracted to a magnet. The (iron containing) metals were attracted, other objects were not. 1L 1B

  9. The “L” pages November 18, 2004 • questions, wonderments • ideas for further • investigation • insights • key words • new words • reflectionsonwhat • Ilearnedtoday 1L 1R

  10. Students’ Science Notebooks and the Inquiry Process Teaching for understanding Writing as a way of learning Linking literacy and science Role of science in strengthening student’s language skills Strengthening the place of science in a basic curriculum.

  11. If there is a class discussion, only a small fraction of the students share their ideas. Notebook entries do not necessarily reveal whether there has been a class discussion. One way to tell if the statements were “student-generated” (i.e., via a class discussion) or teacher generated is whether the copied statement is in kid-friendly language.

  14. There is convincing and incontrovertible evidence that formative assessment increases standards of attainment. This was reported at the Forum by Professor Paul Black of the University of London, from a review of research into the effect of classroom assessment on learning that he had just completed with Dylan Wiliam (Black and Wiliam, 1998a). Black and Wiliam found that initiatives designed to strengthen formative assessment can enhance student achievement. In fact, the potential improvement is substantially greater than for most other interventions designed to raise academic attainment. Moreover, the evidence showed that lower-achieving students gained more than others. Thus, the spread of attainment can be reduced while the over-all level is raised.
